There will be a Special Edition for Kobato. #4 to celebrate the recently-announced anime adaptation. It’ll be released in the Autumn to coincide with the anime broadcast.
More information will be given in the May issue of Newtype (on sale in April).
The information comes from an advertisement that came with Kobato. #3. was kind enough to let me know about it, scan the ad and translate its contents!
The ad reads:
“Kobato.” Fourth Comic Volume planned to have a Special Edition to Commemorate the Anime Adaption!!
Planned for sale in Fall 2009!
More information planned to be announced in the May issue of “Monthly Newtype.”
Much thanks to for this news!
Now we know a possible release date for Kobato. #4 (I foresee no breaks if they want to release it up to October-November, then). This is so exciting, I can’t wait to find out more about the extras of this Special Edition.
Stay tuned for more info!

>character designs
That’s what I’m hoping for the most, specially if it’s CLAMP’s original character designs.
But maybe, since it’s an “anime” special edition, maybe there will be more anime-related extras.

It doesn’t say what exactly will be included, yet. I think it might be a different illustration or design on a cover.
